Public Encounters

New Class for 2023!

Indy Arm’s is proud to present our “Encounters” series of classes.  Each Encounters class focused on the application of firearm and related skills to potential real world situations.  These classes can be taken in any order while students are also taking the Tactical Handgun sequence (I, II, and III).  Currently these classes include Low-Light Encounters, Home Encounters, and Public Encounters. 

This 4-hour class is a great introduction to real life public use of force encounters including seated, within a vehicle, and urban spaces.  Understanding the challenges of defending and communicating in a high stress public environments is key to surviving potential encounters and the aftermath that will likely follow.  Through creating an adaptable personal self-defense plans you will be ready to survive a defensive incident. This class will cover, legal use of force and stand your ground laws, situational awareness in public spaces, use of cover and concealment, seated tactics, reloading and malfunctions, and defending from a vehicle.
